1992 PALMER JOHNSON 80 VRIPACK DOGGERS BANK Comparar

Built by Palmer Johnson in 1992, Doggers Bank is a 27.43-metre motor yacht that embodies the philosophy of classic, seagoing design. Drawn by the renowned Dutch naval architects at Vripack as part of their celebrated Doggersbank line, she represents a time when yachts of this size were built to be proper ships—capable, substantial, and built to last. Her all-aluminum hull, commanding pilothouse, and classic proportions give her a presence that production yachts rarely achieve.

Doggers Bank accommodates up to eight guests across three en suite staterooms: a full-beam master suite and two guest cabins. Her interior features varnished teak and cherry joinery, teak-and-holly soles, and large salon windows that flood the spaces with natural light. A formal dining salon, a galley equipped with Miele and Sub-Zero appliances, an additional dining nook, flybridge, and sundeck provide comfortable living spaces for extended cruising. With 5,800 gallons of fuel capacity, she delivers a range of approximately 3,000 nautical miles—making passages to the Caribbean as straightforward as quiet Bahamian anchorages.

Between late 2024 and August 2026, Doggers Bank underwent a comprehensive refit touching nearly every system aboard. Her hull was glass-blasted and refinished with a four-coat epoxy barrier system and four coats of bottom paint. The electrical infrastructure was completely rebuilt—AC and DC panels, over 200 LED fixture conversions, new battery banks, and shore power systems. A new chilled-water climate plant with three 5-ton chillers and multiple air handlers ensures year-round comfort. Navigation systems include Garmin glass bridges at both helms, Starlink connectivity, Pepwave cellular, FLIR thermal imaging, new VHFs, and AIS. Interior updates include new carpet throughout, fresh headliners, Hunter Douglas blind systems with remote-controlled shades, new head systems with Dometic MasterFlush macerating toilets, new refrigeration, a SeaXchange watermaker, Spotzero system, and two new 6-person life rafts. The result is a yacht with the character of a classic and the systems of a modern cruiser.
